This morning Amber and I led worship for the missionaries here at the Christian Associates conference.  We had a great time! The musicians here are very talented and we jammed with them.  Amber played drums, I played keys, a bass player joined name Marty, a guy played electric and another guy named Scott played acoustic.  We did everything from Waterdeep stuff, to Billy and Cindy Foote's 'Sing to the King'.  God was so good because the 5 of us had never played together and after about 45 minutes of practice, we gelled. 
There was a huge response during our time of worship.  We were all very moved. we really celebrated together and it was so evident that the Holy Spirit was at work in all of our hearts.  

So far this experience with Christian Associates has been far beyond my expectations.  As one guy said, 'this is my tribe.'  I must say that I feel the same way.  So does Amber.  It is so refreshing to be around a group of folks that really only care about you knowing Christ intimately.  They aren't hung up on the 'extras'.  It is really is all about Jesus.  I am very blessed.

Hi Amy,

I'm enjoying reading your BLOG and about your ministry trip to the CA Conference in Hungary. Lord willing, God will continue to move mightily long after CONNECT '08.

Glad to hear that you and the Christian Associates are all reading through "The Forgotten Ways" by Alan Hirsch together. I've heard that it's a really amazing book.

I read somewhere that Hirsch uses this TS Eliott quote in Chapter 4 of the book:

“The greatest proof of Christianity for others is not how far a man can logically analyze his reasons for believing, but how far in practice he will stake his life on his belief.”

Whoa.

Anyhow, have a blessed time overseas! Looking forward to reading more about your trip.

Blessings.

Thanks David! Great to hear from you. I have always admired your ministry and heart for the Lord. Yes, that quote is quite inspiring. And it is definitely true.
Hope to see you again sometime!
